Opinon

For this Illustration Friday topic I thought of my husband, he shares his opinion relentlessly and passionately! he's animated and stubborn.

Happy New Year!

The original is done in a couple of shades of blue pastels on off white paper, I couldn't get the image to reproduce true to life the whites looked murkey and dull. I like how this came out in photo shop. What do you do when you like several different versions? Guess you just need to step back for a while a look again later. Portrait is my lovely niece.

Heart Art

For Inspire me Thursday, the challenge this week is Heart -Art

.................................................................

There are many theories over where the heart symbol come from. Maybe it came from heart shaped lips perched for a kiss, why not!

Baby Love

One of the pictures I donated to "Lovely Hearts" charity exhibition to benefit the breast cancer research fondation. Thanks to the Artstream gallery, what a great idea!

Frida by me

After seeing a collection of Frida Kahlo portraits at a local shop, portraits on tile, postcards, key chains etc.. all by different artist, I became curious to do my own Frida portrait. I went online to research and learned that fifty-five of her 143 paintings are self portraits she said "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone. because I am the person I know best".
I like this picture , that's why I posted it but I know I've got a lot to learn about pastels, portraits and even my own style it will probably be a while before I can do a portrait and truly be happy with the results. Meanwhile I practice. Here's a good link with photos of Frida and a small sampling of her
art

Capture

Entry for Illustration Friday, Dry pastels on paper.
My god-daughter, in this moment she's pleased, and satisfied she's on an amusement ride with a steering wheel, it's the only kind of ride she would stay on. She drove planes, boats, and cars she worked the steering wheel, the knobs and buttons like she was in total control.

Sad child

An old old sketch I came across burried under some stuff. I remember drawing it based on a photo that moved me. I liked the sketch so I just felt like sharing. Only thing that loop of hair that looks like an earing kinda bothers me.
